Run all Namespace Tasks with Capistrano

capistranorubyruby-on-rails

I have a namespace with different tasks:

namespace :mytest do
  task :setup do; ... end;
  task :task1 do; ... end;
  task :task2 do; ... end;
end

When I run cap mytest I get the task `backup' does not exist.

How do I create a command which calls all tasks?

Best Answer

task :default do
  setup
  task1
  task2
end

If you need the task to behave as a method, how about using an actual method?

task :build => [:some_other_tasks] do
  build
end

task :build_all do
  [:debug, :release].each { |t| build t }
end

def build(type = :debug)
  # ...
end

If you'd rather stick to `rake`'s idioms, here are your possibilities, compiled from past answers:

This always executes the task, but it doesn't execute its dependencies:
```
Rake::Task["build"].execute
```
This one executes the dependencies, but it only executes the task if it has not already been invoked:
```
Rake::Task["build"].invoke
```
This first resets the task's already_invoked state, allowing the task to then be executed again, dependencies and all:
```
Rake::Task["build"].reenable
Rake::Task["build"].invoke
```
Note that dependencies already invoked are not automatically re-executed unless they are re-enabled. In Rake >= 10.3.2, you can use the following to re-enable those as well:
```
Rake::Task["build"].all_prerequisite_tasks.each(&:reenable)
```
